“Mom! Look what I brought back!” Lu Yi’s voice came from outside the door.
Lu Yi’s happy voice came from the door.
Lu Sheng opened the door and walked out. He made a silent gesture to Lu Yi. “Your mom just fell asleep!”
Lu Yi happily raised a fish in his hand and smiled. “I caught it in the river today!”
Lu Sheng looked at the fish in Lu Yi’s hand and then looked at him, whose head was full of water. “Next time, don’t go by yourself, understand?”
Lu Yi felt wronged, but he could only promise.
“It’s too dangerous!” Seeing Lu Yi’s wronged look, Lu Sheng sighed and said, “Go take a bath quickly. Don’t catch a cold!”
Hearing Lu Sheng’s words, although Lu Yi felt wronged, he knew that he had worried his father.
He walked back to his room and obediently took a shower before coming out.
Lu Sheng placed the fish in the kitchen and asked Lu Yi, “What do you want to eat? Daddy will cook for you today.”
Lu Yi’s eyes immediately lit up. “I want to eat stewed fish, stewed until it’s fragrant!”
Lu Sheng stroked his head and smiled. “Okay! Go inside and accompany your mother. It’ll be done in a while!”
Lu Yi stepped into the house and a loud voice appeared at the entrance of the yard again.
“Mom! I’m hungry!” Lu Er shouted as he ran in from outside.
Lu Er ran to the kitchen and was stunned when he saw that it was his father who was working in the kitchen.
Lu Sheng looked at his son’s silly expression and asked, “Why? Don’t you recognize me?”
Lu Er shook his head and smiled foolishly. “No, no! Dad! Where’s mom?”
“She’s in the house!” Lu Sheng pointed with his chin.
Lu Er replied with an “Oh” and quickly rushed into the house.
Lu Sheng shook his head helplessly. He could not understand why the children only acknowledged their mother.
During dinner, the dining table was much livelier.
It turned out that it was just the few children eating alone. Zhang Yue was being taken care of by Lu Sheng.
Now that the whole family was gathered at the dining table and eating slowly, even if they did not speak, they were still very happy.
After dinner, the family sat around the living room in the big house and chatted.
“I gave Big Huang a good beating today!” Lu Er said happily.
“Why do you have a problem with Big Huang every day?” Lu Yi asked with some disdain for his younger brother.
“It’s his fault for always provoking me!” Lu Er raised his chin and said, “I’m not someone to be trifled with!”
“It’s not right to fight!” Zhang Yue looked at Lu Er’s proud look and could not help but scold him.
Lu Er stubbornly raised his chin. “If he didn’t provoke me, I wouldn’t fight with him!”
“Then tell me how he provoked you?” Lu Sheng could not help but open his mouth.
“He obviously can’t climb the tree faster than me, yet he insisted that I cheated!” Lu Er snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“Then why did he say that you cheated?” Lu Sheng asked again.
“I just tied a stone with a rope and threw it into the tree. I pulled the rope and climbed up. Of course, I was faster than him!” Lu Er said matter-of-factly.
“This is indeed not cheating,” Lu Sheng said affirmatively.
Hearing Lu Sheng’s affirmation of himself, Lu Er firmly believed that he was not wrong.
However, Lu Sheng changed the topic. “Even if he said you cheated, you shouldn’t have hit him.”
Lu Er pouted his small mouth aggrievedly, looking pitiful.
Zhang Yue looked at her son’s appearance and felt a little heartache. She said, “Let daddy take you to apologize to Big Huang later, okay?”
Although Lu Er was reluctant, he had no choice but to lower his head and agree.
Lu Sheng brought Lu Er to the Huang residence and knocked on the door.
Huang Fa opened the door and was stunned when he saw Lu Sheng and Lu Er.
He invited the two into the house and asked about the situation. Only then did Huang Fa burst into laughter. “It’s okay! That kid was beaten up by me when he came back.”
Lu Er was shocked when he heard that Big Huang was beaten up. “Why did you beat up Big Huang?”
Huang Fa called out to Big Huang. “Let him speak for himself.”
Big Huang lowered its head in grievance. “My dad said that I was incompetent and even accused others of cheating. It’s my fault. He wants me to apologize to you!”
As Big Huang spoke, he really bowed to Lu Er.
Lu Er was shocked and quickly bowed back. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have fought with you!”
Seeing this, Lu Sheng smiled. “It’s a conflict between children. It’s fine as long as they recognize the problem themselves.”
“Yeah! I even said that I would bring Big Huang to your house tomorrow to apologize. It’s great that you guys are here today.” Huang Fa’s smile was even brighter.
“But your son is really smart!” Huang Fa said sincerely.
“That stupid son of mine only knows how to use brute force. He’s not as good as Lu Er!” Huang Fa said as he patted Lu Er’s shoulder with one hand.
The two children apologized to each other and reconciled with each other.
Lu Sheng once again got to know this village neighbor that he was not very familiar with.
